Lyrics

Their tiny torrent of flight Sounds in the trees like rain Flicking the leaves to the light A scattered handful of grain For thornbill's as little as bees I hear in the blowing trees The sudden tune of their song Pray that the hawk not sees Who has scanned the wind so long For his small living food Let no enemies drink The quick wine of blood That leaps in their pulse of praise Wherever a trap is set May they slip through the mesh of the net Nothing should do them wrong Nothing should do them wrong Wherever a trap is set May they slip through the mesh of the net Nothing should do them wrong Nothing should do them wrong Their tiny torrent of flight Sounds in the trees like rain Flicking the leaves to the light A scattered handful of grain For thornbill's as little as bees
